I got my iPod touch

[jdubroxs]

That's right I got one the other day for my graduation present and I am on it typing this message

[Vaati]

Sweet! An iTouch sounds awesome! Though, my Chromatic suits me fine. 

[FunTykoon]

I had it first.

[Keaton]

iPod Touches are awesome.  You will learn to love it greatly.

[Mysterious F.]

I don't like iPods or iPhones. I think it's better when you randomly hear songs on the radio, so you can enjoy them more. Plus, I already have a computer and can just listen to the song anytime I want. I despise cell phones. I also dislike how you can now watch movies on cell phones. I'll let David Lynch explain, since he put it perfectly. (Warning, he says the f-bomb)

Yeah, technology stinks, it makes things way too practical and easy.

[Pyrgusfinn]

I don't have an ipod.

[Hi no Seijin]

I despise cell phones.

Because if you become stranded on the interstate, you can then call for help?  How dare we humans invent something that would be helpful in emergency situations.

I'll meet Whocares' opinion halfway.

I like having a cell phone handy, but I hate texting.  Texting is pointless and redundant.  If you're going to have a cell phone to talk to someone, why not call them?

But this of course would hinder student's ability to not learn in a classroom and instead text their friend across the classroom.

What if you're talking to a deaf guy? Texting is far far more practical for a deaf guy than calling.

...all right, I've got to ask.

Why would a deaf guy have a cell phone?

[darkphantomime]

I meant texting as a whole. I do not have a cell phone, but it's easier for me to text my friends' cell phone than to try and call them.

I did know one hearing impaired guy with much better hearing than me who owned an iphone though.

I see.  I mean, I guess that makes sense, actually.  I dunno...

Still though, texting would be totally acceptable (more than that, encouraged, awesome, etc.) were it not for the extreme drop in intelligibility that accompanies it.  Proper English is encouraged, and yet they have commercials now with "IDK, my BFF Jill?"

I've seen entire, like, commercials?  Where, like, everyone who talks?  In, like, the commercial?  Has an upwards, like, inflection?  So it sounds like a question?  At the end of, like, EVERY sentence?

Like, I dunno?

[darkphantomime]

Meh, everyone who has texted me has spoken/written intelligibly, without all that abbreviation crap.

Well, unless you have a T1 or simmilar software, cutting the words can be an important time saver.
